Global Thermochromic Materials Market, 2014-2025
Thermochromic materials are the kind of composite materials having ability to change their color with change in temperature. Thermochromic materials are generally organic leuco-dye mixtures, composed by the color former, the color developer, pigments, and the solvent. The color former is usually a cyclic ester and determines the base color. The color developer is a weak acid and produces the color change and the final color intensity.
Thermochromic materials can be categories into reversible and irreversible types. The reversible material changes their color by temperature variation. These change in color can be reversed by cooling the material. In contrast, irreversible thermochromic materials exhibit an irreversible color change with peak temperature. It cannot be reversed the color once the change in color. Irreversible color changes over a wide range of temperatures can be obtained by the decomposition of irreversible thermochromic materials such as phosphates, carbonates, and hydroxides. The final color of the irreversible thermochromic material is dependent on both the temperature it is subjected to and the time period over which it is held at a high temperature.
Thermochromic materials are used in building applications can optimize thermal roof performances for different seasons. Thermochromic pigments have been incorporated into building materials, such as common white coatings, colored paintings, also with addition of TiO2, white textile membrane coverings. Irreversible thermochromic materials are widely used in medical & clinical, security inks, packaging, and coating applications.
